The
boot portion of Windows 98 can only be installed onto the first
physical drive. The Windows 98 boot record always reads sectors
from the first physical hard drive, and will behave unpredictably
when booted from another physical hard drive. |

Windows
98 cannot be installed into an extended or logical partition.
It will only boot from a Primary FAT partition. |
| |
|
| • |
A
bug in Windows 98 will prevent access to multiple primary partitions
if the last logical partition on every drive is not FAT. Thus,
if you create a primary partition for Windows 98, a second primary
partition for MS-DOS, then install Windows 2000 into an extended
partition using NTFS, your Windows 98 will have problems accessing
the MS-DOS partition. If you create a logical DOS drive after
the NTFS drive, Windows 98 will not have any problems accessing
the MS-DOS partition. |

We
recommend that if installing into the MultiFAT (where System
Commander Resides) that only one Windows 95/98/Me be installed
in that partition, since the Program Files directory overlaps.
Installing DOS, NT/2000 or OS/2 in the same partition causes
no problems. |
